Two Band Model

Multi-band superconductors are analyzed and the relevance of overlapping energy bands to the high-T c of these materials is studied. Within the BCS framework, a two band model with generalized Fermi surface topologies is developed. Values of the overlapped occupancy parameters for typical cuprate superconductors are obtained as a function of the ratio R and the effective coupling constant, λ, in the weak-coupling limit. The overlap scale is of the order or lower than the cutoff (Debye) energy. The typical behavior of the isotope effect is obtained. As these superconductors have transition temperatures above the phonon barrier, the results of this approach are important to the generic understanding of the high-T c superconducting mechanism.

Layered Cuprates

We consider the interlayer pair-tunneling model for layered cuprates, including an effective single particle hopping along the c-axis. A phenomenological suppression of the c-axis hopping matrix element, by the pseudogap in cuprate superconductors, is incorporated. At optimal doping, quantities characteristic to the superconducting state, such as the transition temperature and the superconducting gap are calculated. Results from our calculations are consistent with the experimental observations with the noteworthy point that, the superconducting gap as a function of temperature shows excellent match to the experimental data. Predictions within the model, regarding T c variation with interlayer coupling, are natural outcomes which could be tested further.

Antiferromagnetic Ordering

In cuprate superconductors with high critical transition temperature (Tc), light hole-doping to the parent compound, which is an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator, has been predicted to lead to the formation of small Fermi pockets. These pockets, however, have not been observed. Here, we investigate the electronic structure of the five-layered Ba2Ca4Cu5O10(F,O)2, which has inner copper oxide (CuO2) planes with extremely low disorder, and find small Fermi pockets centered at (π/2, π/2) of the Brillouin zone by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and quantum oscillation measurements. The d-wave superconducting gap opens along the pocket, revealing the coexistence between superconductivity and antiferromagnetic ordering in the same CuO2 sheet. These data further indicate that superconductivity can occur without contribution from the antinodal region around (π, 0), which is shared by other competing excitations.

Vibronic Effect

When phonons strongly mix with electron charge fluctuations with low frequencies, the phonon mediated attractive interaction between electrons is strongly enhanced. The occurrence of the mixing has been indicated by the neutron scattering experimental results that the dispersion of the in-plane Cu–O bond-stretching mode in the high Tc cuprate superconductors is strongly softened near the zone boundary. We propose that the phonon mediated attractive interaction strongly enhanced by the vibronic effect can form a basis for the phonon mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. With the Eliashberg theory and with the electronic structure determined by ARPES and the electronic dielectric function obtained by the softened dispersion of the in-pane Cu–O stretching mode, we calculated the transition temperature and the order parameter at the transition temperature. The order parameter is of the d(x2-y2) symmetry and the transition temperature is well in excess of 100 K.
